And all the money raised from the store will fund the British Heart Foundation’s pioneering research towards eradicating heart disease for good.
A spokesman said: “All the money raised will help fund essential research which could create a better future for so many - from babies born with heart defects, to the millions of adults affected by heart disease.”
“The large store has new items on display daily, and sells a huge range of pre-owned, new, and vintage goods.”

BHF clinical research training fellow Tim Ellan added: “When you consider that selling two sofas could fund one of our young scientists for a whole day, it really puts it into perspective how much this store can help those in need.”
Area manager Chris Ward, featured in the video, urged people to donate items or volunteer to help out in the shop.
